When the right conditions are created, empowering self-managed teams at the grass-roots level can create magic. Esoteric concepts like EVA (Economic Value Added) can be de-mystified and made easy-to-relate-with in the front line.

This, in turn, meant they could make significant headway in achieving customer satisfaction and loyalty.
